Default 08 RK Classic

Saw one today at a dealer , it had the 2 tone copper and vivd black paint. Nice lookin bike except for that huge a$$ gas tank. Personally I think they went way over board on the size of the tank. Just my 2 cents.

I think it looks find personally. I think a different paint scheme would make them look slimmer.

And HD has to stay competitive on fuel capacities. The top end Yamaha Royal Star was at 6 gal last year (if you want to see an ugly tank, check that one out...), and Goldwings have been over that for a long time now. And now with Victory and Suzuki both introducing touring lines as well.

6 gallon is nothing compared to one I have seen here locally. This guy has a custom Heritage and put on a 7 gallon, non stretched tank. Man, that thing is FAT, litterally. I love it. I mean really love it.

I like the size of the tank, but don't care for the instrumentation.
